Society of Registration Officers

Society of Registration Officers

The Society of Registration Officers is a trade union representing officers of the vital registration service in England and Wales. Members provide the local birth, marriage and death registration service, the majority working in local Register Offices.

After decades of campaigning, together with UNISON, the major public service union, the Society finally succeeded in seeing statutory registration officers receive legal employment status in 2007 when, on 1st December they became employees of their relevant local authority following the enactment of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007.

The Society's future is under review and it is likely that it will be dissolved in 2008 and rise again as a professional association with no trade union role, similar to that representing registration officers in Scotland, the Association of Registrars of Scotland.
